   DEATH BY EATING FRICTION MATCHES -- The REV. J. W. PRUETT states that ELLA, 
daughter of MR. ALLEN ROSS, of Stanly County, N. C. , died on Friday, May 6th, 
1859, aged five years. Her death was caused by eating friction matches, and 
her little brothers, JOHN and WILLIAM, one three and the other, one year old, 
are dangerously ill from the same cause. This is published as a warning to 
those who may not know that friction matches contain a virulent poison. --
